2. Collecting and storing personal data; type, purpose and use

When you hire me, I will request the following information:

I will also request you to provide information required to carry out the contract/order in question. This data will be collected for the following reasons:

Your personal data will be processed upon contacting me. It is necessary to collect this data in order to process your request and fulfil any obligations arising from the underlying contract/order (see above). Your data will be processed in accordance with Sect. 6 (I) (b) of the GDPR. Failure to provide the data may have legal disadvantages for you and may result in the contract not being concluded.

Any personal data collected will be stored until expiry of the statutory retention obligation (6, 8 or 10 years following the end of the calendar year in which the contractual relationship was concluded). After this period, the data will be deleted. This shall not apply in exceptional cases where I am obligated to store data for a longer period of time in accordance with tax or commercial law (pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Criminal Code (StGB) or the German Tax Code (AO)), or if I have obtained your consent to store the data for a longer period of time.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this rule only apply if doing so is required to process and carry out the contract/order in question. For this purpose, data may be transferred to service providers commissioned by me (processors) or other third parties I engage for the purpose of carrying out the contract. The duty to comply with data protection laws also applies to any such processors (interpreters and translators).


4. Your rights as a data subject

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this only apply if doing so is necessary to carry out the contract/order. This includes disclosing data to service providers commissioned by me (processors) or other third parties I engage for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. Any such data will only be used by the third parties for the purposes stated above. The duty to comply with data protection laws also applies to any such processors (interpreters and translators).

As the person affected by the data processing, you are entitled to several rights. These include:

– Right of withdrawal: You may withdraw your consent at any time, at which time we will cease processing your data.

– Right of access to personal data: You are entitled to request information about your personal data processed by me. In particular, this applies data collected for the purposes stated above, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients, the storage period, and, if applicable, the origin of your data.

– Right to rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate personal data stored by us or complete the data.

– Right to erasure: You are entitled to withdraw your consent for us to store your personal data unless doing so is necessary in exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise or defend against any legal claims.

– Right to restrict processing: You are entitled to restrict the processing of your personal data should you dispute the accuracy of the data, or should the processing be unlawful and you object to it being deleted. You are also entitled to this right in cases where we no longer require the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend against any legal claims. Furthermore, you may exercise this right if you object to the processing of your personal data.

– Right to data portability: You may request that we inform you of the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, accessible and machine-readable format. You may also request that we transfer the personal data you have provided to us directly to another data controller where possible.

Should you exercise your right to lodge a complaint, we will cease processing your personal data unless we can substantiate compelling and legitimate reasons to continue doing so that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend against any legal claims.
